Question

A colourless aqueous solution contains nitrates of two metals, X and Y. When it was added to an aqueous solution of NaCl, a white precipitate was formed. This precipitate was found to be partially soluble in hot water to give a residue P and a solution Q. The residue Pwas soluble in aqueous NH3and also in excess sodium thiosulfate. The hot solution Q gave a yellow precipitate with KI. The metals Xand Y, respectively, are:

Solution

The correct option is A

AgandPb


Answer : (A)

X=AgNO3;Y=PbNO32;P=AgCl;Q=PbCl2(1)AgNO3+NaClAgCl+NaNO3(X)(P)(2)AgCl(s)2NH3Ag(NH3)2+Cl-(P)(Soluble)(3)AgCl+2Na2S2O3Na3(Ag(S2O3)2)+NaCl(P)(Soluble)(4)Pb(NO3)2+2NaClPbCl2+2NaNO3(Y)(Whiteppt(Q)(Solubleinhotwater)(5)PbCl2+2KIPbCl2+2KCl(hotsolution)(Yellowppt)(Q)Hence,(A)AgandPbiscorrectoption.
